Post the PGN here and I'll do a "standard analysis" on it with the help of Houdini.

I do a move by move analysis with my best engine to assess my play... since I have no master to ask, it's really all I can do.

Unless it's a 120 move game, I should have chance to do it today... but there is no reason why you can't do the same.

Looks like you have done your own analysis on them pretty well, so I won't "rip 'em apart" :-P

I have the pages open on my screen but so far haven't had time to look at much... work!

I'll try to advise though :-)

Don't get discouraged Sir Nemo....we all have bad tournaments and my experience is that you always seem to have a dip at the start of an improvement cycle...I think it is just the conflict between your old thinking and new thinking schemesVG
